What are Kilocalorie and Dekajoule

Definition of Kilocalorie

A kilocalorie, often referred to as a calorie in dietary contexts, is a unit of energy equivalent to 1,000 calories. It represents the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius under standard atmospheric pressure. Kilocalories are widely used in nutrition to quantify the energy content in food and beverages, helping individuals manage dietary intake and maintain energy balance. In scientific and technical fields, kilocalories are crucial for understanding energy transformations and conversions, especially in thermodynamics and metabolic studies.

Definition of Dekajoule

A Dekajoule is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI) equivalent to ten joules. Joules measure the amount of work done or energy transferred when a force of one newton moves an object one meter. Therefore, a Dekajoule represents a larger quantity of energy, often used in contexts where energy quantities are higher, such as in industrial applications or larger-scale energy conversions. By using Dekajoules, scientists and engineers can express and calculate energy quantities more conveniently, promoting efficiency and clarity in energy management and discussions.

10 kcal/min 41.87 daJ/s

Conversion of Kilocalorie to Dekajoule

1 kcal/min = 4.187 daJ/s
1 daJ/s = 0.239 kcal/min

Example 1:
convert 5 kcal/min to daJ/s:
5 kcal/min = 5 × 4.187 daJ/s = 20.935 daJ/s

Example 2:
convert 3.5 kcal/min to daJ/s:
3.5 kcal/min = 3.5 × 4.187 daJ/s = 14.6545 daJ/s
